TOILET-ARTICLE HOLDER OE CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 30, 1918.

Application filed March 8, 1818. Serial No. 221,184.

To all whom z't my concern:

Be it known that I, Euro W. Len, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tamarda, in the county of Perry, State of Illinois, have invented a newand useful Toilet-Article Holder or Cabinet; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an improved'toilet fixture, and one of the objects of the invention is to provide an improved toilet fixture consisting of a skeleton frame constructed from a single length of wire, bent to form supports for a mirror, towel racks,

. tooth brush receptacle, a soap holder, and

' ror frame.

means for'supporting a wash basin.

A further object of the invention is to provide a simple, efficient and practical toilet fixture which is inexpensive in construction, and may be sold at a reasonable profit.

In practical fields the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts as hereinafter set forth,-shown in the drawing and claimed.

In the drawings there is disclosed a single perspective view of the improved toilet fixture.

Referring more especially to the drawing, it is to be observed that the fixture is constructed of a single length of heavy nickel plated or galvanized wire which is bent midway its ends to form a coiled eye 1, to engage a nail or other suitable support 2 that may project from the wall. The portions 3 of the wire beyond the eye 1 are bent at 4, 5 and 6, to form a rectangular frame 7, which is designed to engage a groove 8 in the marginal edge of the frame 9 of a plate glass mirror 10, thereby securely supporting the mirror frame. Where the portions 3 are bent at 4 suitable staples 11 straddle the.

wire ortions 3 and into the mirror frame 9, there y preventing displacement of the wire portions 3. The wire portions immediately beyond the bends 6 are twisted together as shown atr12, thereby forming the lower portion of tlie frame 7 whichsupports the mir- This twisted part 12 of the frame 7 also engages that portion of the groove 8 of the lower' edge of the mirror frame. The wire portions just immediately beyond the twisted part 12 extend downwardly and toward each other as shown at1- and are twisted together as shown at 14. The wire portions 17 beyond the twist 14 are bent to form therectangular loop 15, which is designed to receive a suitable wire fabric soap holding basket or holder 16. Said .wire portions 17 below the frame are twisted together as shown at 18, and the twisted parts of the portions 18 are extended ontwardly as shown at 27. Beyond the outwardly extending twisted part 27, the wire portions 25 are curved or ben't to form a circular ring 26, which ring is provided with a piece of mesh work as shown in dotted lines at 26" in order to support a wash basin. Beyond the ring 26 the wire portions 25 are twisted together to form the part 24, and said'wire portions.as at 23 near the upper end or the part 24 are curved or bent semicircular to provide the ring 21, which is of a larger diameter than the rin 26, and is designed to receive the curved Slde wall of a wash basin or the like 22. Engaging the rings 26 and 21 is a piece of mesh work 22", which assists in holding therings in their proper spaced relation, as well as reinforcing them and at the same time more firmly supporting the basin. The parts 20 of the ring 21 are twisted together as shown'at 19, and the wire portions of the part 19 are twisted downwardly toward the portion 27 and about the-lower portion of 18. The portion 27 is bent fromthe part 18 as at 28, and one of the wire portions near 28 of the part 27 is bent to form an eye 31, to be engaged by a nail or the like 32 in order to insure a firm support for the frame of the toilet fixture. A suitable wire fabrivbasket 33 is provided for and the like. This wire fabric basket 33 is provided with eyes 34, to be enga ed by the diagonal parts 13 of the frame 0 the toilet fixture, for supporting said basket. A suitable U-shaped wire frame 35 is suspended by its eyes 36 from the diagonal parts 13. Suitable towel racks 37 are provided. Each towel rack is constructed from a single length of wire bent to form the outwardly extending towel supporting arm 38 having a hook 39 at its outer end. The wire of each towel rack is bent to form theeyes 40 (which the reception .of tooth brushes.

are alined axially) and the connecting part 41. These eyes 40 engage and receive the lower end of the portion 18 acts to reinforce and insure rigidity in construction.

The invention having been set .forth what is claimed as new and useful ls:-

1. In a toilet fixture, a' skeleton frame constructed of wire and having at, its top suspension means, said frame having a rectangular portion to engage the marginal edge of the frame of a mirror, said fixture frame having diagonally arranged portions, 21 U- shaped frame suspended downwardly from the diagonal portions, and towl racks, each constructed from a single length of wire and being pivotally mounted, one on each end of said U-shaped frame.

2. In a toilet fixture, a skeleton frame c0nstruetcd of wire and having a mirror frame siq'iporting portion, said fixture frame having a depending part from the mirror sup porting portion, said depending part terminating at its lower end in circular laterally extending concentric rings of different diameters, the larger being super-imp0sed and both designed to he engaged by a Wash basin, said depending part having diagonal portions, a U-shaped frame dependin from said diagonal portions, and towel rac s, one pivoted on each end of said U-shaped frame, said U-shaped frame being interposed between the depending part and the wall from which the fixture frame may-be suspended, thereby preventing), displacement of the U- shaped frame.
